Question 1163083: A ribbon is 4meter long. how many pieces each 30centimeters long can be cut from the ribbon.
Answer by Theo(13342)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! there are 100 centimeters in a meter.
therefore, a ribbon 4 meters long is 400 centimeters long.
400 / 30 = 13 and 1/3.
therefore, you can make 13 pieces of ribbon, each 30 centimeters long.
you will have an additional piece of ribbon that is 10 centimeters long.
30 * 13 = 390 + 10 = 400
